Stingray City and Sandbar

Stingray City and the Sandbar are snorkelling sites located in
the North Sound, and are a must-visit for watersports enthusiasts.
The clear shallow waters are frequented by friendly stingrays that
come to find out what titbits visitors have brought them. Boat
tours take snorkellers and divers to swim with and feed the
stingrays on bits of squid; they will brush against swimmers and
allow themselves to be touched. This famous Cayman attraction was
accidentally created by fishermen who used to clean their catch in
the calm waters, casting bits overboard, and so attracting the
Southern Stingrays to the area.

Swimming with the stingrays is a remarkable experience.
Travellers should do their best to ensure, however, that they use
only reputable tour operators who have respect for the environment
and the animals.
